What we do
Education first. Always.
We help you understand the concepts behind protection and planning, so the decisions you eventually make are your own and well informed. We don’t sell or recommend products.
Life insurance
Life insurance can help the people who depend on you if you pass away. We explain the difference between term and permanent coverage, how people think about how much coverage they might need, and the questions worth asking before you speak with a licensed professional.
Disability insurance
Your ability to earn an income is often your largest financial asset. We explain how disability coverage is designed to replace part of your income if illness or injury stops you from working, and the terms (waiting periods, benefit periods, definitions of disability) that are worth understanding.
Critical illness insurance
Critical illness coverage typically pays a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a covered condition. We explain how it works, how it differs from disability insurance, and why people consider the two side by side.
Planning for children’s future
From Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) and the Canada Education Savings Grant to the Canada Learning Bond and naming a guardian, we walk through the building blocks with links to official government sources.
Segregated funds
Segregated funds are investment funds offered through insurance contracts. We explain in plain English how their maturity and death-benefit guarantees, fees and beneficiary designations work, so you understand the concept before any conversation.
Entrepreneurs & small businesses
Business owners face unique questions: what happens if a key person can’t work, how buy-sell arrangements function, and how owners think about paying themselves. We cover the basics and the questions to bring to your accountant and lawyer.
